Default Livernois, TEA, Patriot...

I have narrowed my head choices to these 3. I'm looking for a STG 2 LS6 head. There going on my 99 Vette w/Cartek 2X cam and full bolt-ons. I don't want the 5.3 head because it's getting a blower next year and I dont want CR more than 10.5-1. So, lets hear it, what should I choose and why.

This might be a good post in the forced induction section. I would run less compression than 10.5 to 1 if your going forced. Probably something like ~9 to 1. There is a 6.0 head LQ4 that's very similar to the LS6, I'd look at those because you can run more boost with the lower compression and make more power.

Although I have Livernois and can attest to their quality but most
would agree a good running combo follows the head then cam etc.
Call Cartek and see what they recommend.

Yea, Max has already got a pm from me on CF. I was just wondering about these other guys. I have never used their products and was wanting some different points of view. Cartek will get the go ahead, if price isn't to bad.
